Fire In The Asylum – Poetry For The Apocalypse [LP]

By Zac Rachid

They say first impressions are everything. However, in my opinion, this does not appear to be the case with Fire In The Aylum’s latest release Poetry for The Apocalypse. Opening their album with a very sexual and kink oriented song, I found myself very much enjoying the lyrics and meaning behind the song, but not really “feeling” the instrumental music. As the album progressed, however, the sound did too. Each song had it’s own feel and display of a musical talent, dissecting sub genres of hard rock and metal and fusing them together to create their own sound. I found that by the end of the album, there was something I really liked about every song. FITA’s sound can described as a fusion of System of a Down, Queens of The Stone Age, and SlipKnot, with neatly placed toppings of high energy guitar solos and edgy, deep lyrics.
